Strength Building Exercises for Seniors and Beginners || Full Body Workout with Dumbbells
Get stronger with this 24 minute full body workout with dumbbells.
This video includes 24 minutes of strength building exercises in standing and seated positions. The whole body will be challenged using medium to heavy weights. I’m using 8 pounds, but could have gone heavier in some of the exercises. It’s still a great workout with positive benefits if you use light hand weights as well. For bigger strength gains, I recommend dumbbells on the heavier side.
The workout starts with a quick warm up to make sure your muscles are warm. This is crucial so you don’t pull a muscle and it is much better to have warm joints! After the warm up we start with stationary lunges and squats working the glutes, quads and inner thighs. We then move onto back flies. Make sure to keep your chest proud, with your shoulders down and back and your navel pulled in for proper form. These moves are great for posture! The second half of the workout is done sitting up straight in a chair. (Though you could perform them all standing as well). Please make sure you use a kitchen chair and not a sofa or couch. It will much easier and better for your knees! Here we will work the shoulders, biceps, triceps and core. Make sure to stay for the stretch to reduce soreness and gain flexibility!
Thank you for working out with me!
